About Me

I am an old-fashioned American citizen who believes in our traditional values of freedom, truth, and justice. When I see our laws and government subverted and twisted into service of the undemocratic, powerful, corporate oligarchy, I must react with a patriotic defense of our values. I strongly oppose the ongoing destruction of what is left of American democracy and shall give voice to our common cause of freedom.

Wake Up, America!

You know, lately I've begun to realize how extreme my political perspective has become. I have now come to understand the Big Picture more clearly. I think it's time to moderate my thinking a bit. After all, why should I blame Republicans and conservadems for our national troubles? Liberals must take their share of the blame, since they were in power for most of the last three decades. FOX (R) is just what we need for sensible balance to the radically liberal corporate media. I wish Progressives would get a clue and figure it out. The Republican Party and their donors only want what's best for every American. They are the epitome of freedom and democracy. George Bush and Dick Cheney left us a gloriously free and prosperous America, until Obama the Socialist used ACORN and the New Black Panthers to steal the election. Now we see his Marxist plans for the destruction of America are rolling over the interests of Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce. They are powerless to stop him. He could very well be the anti-Christ! Wake up, America!

Thanks, Tom. Going to church is for sheeple. I'm so inspired by Baker/Robertson/Falwell/Swaggart et al that I'm going to start my very own First Church of Mammon. Our creed will be, "Salvation: You get what you pay for".

My first sermon will be, "God really does love the rich best. For a ten thousand dollar donation, you too can learn how money buys both Heaven and Earth".

Next week will be, "Holy Hatred: Why just blame 9-11 on liberals, gays and the ACLU? They are to blame for everything".

Thanks, all. As much as I love satire, I'm not sure I'll do any more of these. I think I understand why the Righties love saying these things. One feels a particular surge of dark energy coursing through one's being. The anger and hatred fuel a biochemical reaction that reinforces a sense of self-righteousness. Now I know how easy it is for people to go over to the Dark Side. Scapegoating and blaming those you are indoctrinated to dislike really feeds into some kind of euphoria. It is the unfortunate side of human nature that allows the rise of tyrants and totalitarianism.

I thought this was just for fun, but I actually learned something. Powerful negative forces are at play, and they can suck an unwitting soul into darkness.
